This article presents information on the book "Is the Navy Ready?," by F. Russell Bichowsky. It is a wholesale attack upon the U.S. naval service, its mentality, its training, its readiness, its efficiency, its total lack of science in handling most of its problems and duties. Bichowsky certainly will be read with the greatest of interest by foreign admiralties, and will undoubtedly cheer up the Japanese imperialists not a little. Bichowsky is equally strong in his criticism of the naval mind, its hopeless conservatism, its drift in the direction of aristocracy, its steady efforts toward aggrandisement, and its failure to take the right attitude toward the civilian world.
